or six is something unusual. Rather, I am forced to say: Protection of Hazrat at that time wasthrough unseen channels and even if it was through ordinary channels we are compelled to say:These channels are rare and impracticable for majority of the people.In short, our Master, Mahdi (AS.) apparently went into concealment either from inside or outsidehis own house without its particulars being known to us. Allah knows better this matter.Here it is worth mentioning the following point: Whatever a group of learned Sunni scholars andsome of the Shia writers have mentioned about the characteristics of Mahdi's occultation are alllacking authentic reference(s). How good it would have been if they had mentioned thosereferences.Sardab (Cellar) and Its VisitationFrom the book of "Sawa'eq" it appears that the Shia Imamiah's or a group amongst them reckonthat Mahdi (A.S.) has concealed himself in the cellar. They expect him to emerge from this cellarand they stop near its door with their horses and await his reappearance.

Some of the great Islamic scholars like Thaqatul‐Islam Nuri have stressedon this matter.Since Mahdi (A.S.) is not having any specified place to be visited, it is better to visit him in hishouse. On the contrary, it even seems proper to visit his house itself because visiting the friends'houses after they have left it is amongst the customs in force. (Amongst friends) In this regard, apoet says:103 Verily this matter has been the reason for the Shi'ites visiting the Cellar eventhough this reason is hidden and unknown to many. Visiting the 'Sardab' (Cellar) is a good trendand a cordial custom which has become the motto of the Shi'ites and how good and proper thisact appears to be even though I have not seen any text or traditions in this regard.Rather, we have not come across any of the books with any supported tradition, which commandPresented by http://www.alhassanain.com & http://www.islamicblessings.com
